The Fay and the Turtles

prologue

It's been a long time since I was in the human realm so much has changed; newer technology, more people, more buildings and way more crime. I let out a puff of cold night air as I walked down a busy street of New York city, I let my feet carry me wherever not even really thinking where I was going. I was too lost in my own thoughts thinking of everything that happened when I was grabbed and pulled into a dark alley. I let out a small yelp of surprise as I was shoved up against a wall. My back hit hard against it, I looked up at who grabbed me. It was a young male maybe in his mid-20s with greasy blonde hair and brown eyes. "What's a pretty thing like you doing all by yourself?" He had yellowish teeth and bad breath. I was about to tell him to let me go when 6 more men came out of the shadows. I glanced around when I heard whistling and cat calling, I rolled my eyes. "We'll take care of you sweetheart." one of them called, I let out a growl. If I was human I would be terrified. But I'm not human. I let out a sigh and moved my hands to his shoulders, as quick as lighting rammed my knee into his junk.

He groaned as he hit the ground and everything was silent for a moment before "you're going to regret that bitch." one of them growled then all hell broke loose. I smirked, getting into a fighting stance bringing up my hands and beckoning them to come at me. Soon everyone was on the ground groaning and whining about something broken. I cracked my neck as I walked over bodies when I stopped dead in my tracks. I turned my head when I heard the click of a safety coming off. Before I could move I felt a sharp burning pain in my shoulder blade, then another in my thigh, and my side. I hissed as I dropped to my knees. I brought my hand to my side to see and felt blood, when I brought my hand back it was covered in blood WHY AM I HEALING?! I looked up to see the shooter as he stood above me. He had an oni mash that looked like a boar's muzzle, I couldn't make out much of his face just as he took the butt of the gun and slammed into my head then everything went dark.

4 brothers were on their nightly patrol jumping from rooftop to rooftop. They were having fun until they passed over in an alley that smelt like blood. The leader of the group held up his hand singling the rest to stop. The group became silent and looked into the dark alley. There wasn't any movement but there was a body, the leader motioned the group to go down into the alley. As they got down they stuck to the shadows, the girl had black hair that faded to silver that was covered in her blood, she was on her side barely breathing. The brothers slowly came closer to her, as they surrounded her they tried to stay out of the pool of blood that she was laying in, her eyes were open but unfocused. Her eyes were crystal blue. One of the brothers bent down next to her, he gently put his finger to her neck and felt her pulse .

"Leo we need to get her back to the layer she's lost a lot of blood and she's freezing she's not going to make it much longer if we don't hurry." he looked at Leo who nodded and came closer and picked her up gently. Her head rested against his carapace "lets head back then." just as he was about to turn around a voice sounded at the mouth of the alley. "I would leave the girl if I were you." a male said he had an oni wolf mask on. The 4 brothers stood rigid as they looked at the male, they didn't even hear him approach. "And why would we do that?" The thickest brother said in his deep brackish accent. "Because turtle you have no idea who or what she is." The brother growled deep and low and got into a fighting stance drawing is sais. Leo felt the girl move and he looked down to see her eyes were focused on him but he didn't see any fear in them she looked determined. She gently put her hand against his chest looking him dead in the eyes and whispered "let me down please." her voice was so soft that he almost missed it. He simply shook his head "not going to happen ma'am you are too injured." he held her closer and looked at the man. "The answer is no she's coming with us." the man sighed and drew a gun. "Wrong answer turtle. I was going to be nice and let you all live but now I guess not." the brothers drew their weapons.

She let out a sigh and looked towards the man "then when I say run please run." Leo looked at her with his eyebrow raised but nodded then looked towards his brothers "Hashiru junbi o suru" the brothers nodded. The girl took a deep breath and lifted her hand "now." she whispered, blue fire exploded from her palm heading straight for the man. He screamed as the fire touched him and the brothers were off disappearing into the shadows.

Leo looked down at the girl in his arms as they ran, she sagged in his arms, sweat covering her forehead as she passed out.
